In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5120 km away, and released. It found its way back to its nest 12.5 days after release. Part A If we place the origin in the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird's average velocity for the return flight? Express your answer in meters per second. ANSWER: Vay.-x = m/s Part B What was the bird's average velocity for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning? Express your answer in meters per second. ANSWER: Vav. = m/s

A jet plane lands with a speed of 145 m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of -7.00 m/?2 as it comes to rest. a. From the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest? b. Can this plane land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.9 km long? Why?
At 10:17 a.m., you pass a police car at 55 mph that is stopped on the freeway. You pass a second police car at 55 mph at 10:53 a.m., which is located 39 mi from the first police car. If the speed limit is 60 mph, can the police cite you for speeding? а. a. The total time between your two police car sightings was P hours. b. Your average speed between the two police car sightings was 8, mph. c. Can the police cite you for speeding? No, your average speed was less than the speed limit. CYes, since your average speed was more than the speed limit, there must have been somewhere within the 39 mi where you were driving more than 60 mph.
A particle travels along the +x axis. At t = 0 s, its velocity is 10.0 m/s and its acceleration is -2.0 m/s^2. Question A: Which of the following statements is true? 1. The particle will slow down and eventually come to a complete stop 2. The particle cannot have a negative acceleration and be moving in the positive x direction 3. The particle will continue to move in the positive x direction, slowing but never coming to a complete stop. 4. The particle will slow down, stop momentarily, then speed up in the x- direction. Question B: At what time will the particle be stopped? 1. t = 5.0 s 2. t = -5.0 s 3. t = -0.2 s 4. The particle does not ever stop Question C: What is the particle's displacement from its initial position at t = 10.0 s ? Please Answer questions A, B, and C
Some troublemaking kids are dropping water balloons from the roof of your apartment building. You are in your ﬁfth-ﬂoor room and your window is 25 m above the sidewalk outside. You look outside and see that each balloon hits the pavement 1.5 s after passing your window. Express answers using 2 signiﬁcant ﬁgures. a) How fast are the balloons traveling when they pass your window? b) Assuming the balloons are being released from rest, from what height above your window are they being released? c) If you threw a balloon upwards from your window with an initial speed of 6.5 m/s, would you be able to get it to the roof?
A red Mazda Miata (type of car) accelerates from rest at a rate of a₁ in the positive x direction for a total of 20.0 seconds. The Mazda then holds their speed and direction constant for a 20.0 additional seconds. Finally, while continuing in the positive x direction, the Mazda slows down at a rate of a2 until the car stops moving. We want to determine the total distance traveled by the Mazda and the average speed of the car if we know a₁ and ₂. (A) Sketch a graph of velocity versus time for this short trip. Label the time axis to indicate which portions of the curve(s) correspond to the above intervals. Identify and write knowns and unknowns (B) Without using numerical values, determine which physics equations of motion will help solve this problem. Simplify as useful for this particular case. (C) If a₁ = 2.0 m/s² and a₂ = -3.0 m/s² determine the total distance traveled during all intervals and the average velocity of the Mazda.
A hot air balloon is moving vertically upwards at a constant rate of 9.0 m/s. As the balloon rises, a package is dropped from the balloon and it takes 5 s to hit the ground. How far did the package fall? Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label known and unknown quantities with units, and coordinate system. Thanks!
An object moves in the x-y plane with a constant acceleration of 2i +3j meters per second squared. The object starts at the origin with some initial velocity. After four seconds (4 seconds) the velocity of the object is 2i + 8j meters per second. Determine the object’s initial velocity. Leave answer in i-j notation. Determine the position of the object at time, t = 4 seconds. Leave answer in i-j notation. Thank you for your help.

Car A was traveling east at high speed when it collided at point O with car B , which was traveling north at 45 mi/h. Car C , which was traveling west at 60 mi/h, was 32 ft east and 10 ft north of point O at the time of the collision. Because the pavement was wet, the driver of car C could not prevent his car from sliding into the other two cars, and the three cars, stuck together, kept sliding until they hit the utility pole p. Knowing that the weights of cars A, B, and C are, respectively, 3000 lb, 2600 lb, and 2400 lb, and neglecting the forces exerted on the cars by the wet pavement, solve the problems indicated.Knowing that the coordinates of the utility pole are xp= 46 ft and yp = 59 ft, determine (a) the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at P,(b) the speed of car A.
